I'll bet on the magna forums they're bagging out commodores with their clubsport kits and V* SS rims..
Nothing wrong with the car in the first post, nothing at all.. HSV VE's come from the factory with bodykits and 20"s, by your thinking they would also be a fisher-price "my first ricers".
BTW: Ricer doesn't mean an asian car. Definition comes from earlier years when people would modify their Honda exhausts to make them louder but not add any performance, the smell was very similar to burning rice - hence rice burner, then just ricers. It's a phrase used to cover modifications that add aesthetic features to a car without worrying about the performance aspects.
IMO if a car has the performance to back it up there's no problem with big bodykits and over-sized rims. Just by looking at the cars you have no idea about the drivetrain performance or what modifications have been done, for all you know (and it's damned not likely) that magna could have a transplanted RB26DETT or LS2 V8 under there, and be converted to RWD. It isn't impossible (just highly unlikely
).
I don't think it's fair to bag out other peoples cars, which they have bought and customised themselves, probably putting weeks worth of work into them. If they're being a tool and doing stupid things in the car that's another thing, but I stand by the belief let people do whatever they want, at the end of the day it isn't hurting you - and everyone's likely going to be doing it in the future, so just go with the flow
Is this what being a Commodore driver or fan is all about? Complete one sidedness, believing the best cars in the world are ones with a Holden badge on them and hating anything which isn't a V6/V8? I know I'm a fan of cars in general, Holden I hold a special place for because I've had so many but I'm a fan of any car, I can appretiate the work done to all cars, the customisation, etc. even to Fords. There are some awesome Fords out there, as well as some amazing Japanese and European cars.
